This week's episode of AEW Dynamite started off with a huge tag team victory for Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay, but continued with an even bigger challenge for the All In PPV event on July 12.
Ospreay and Strickland defeated Lee Johnson and Blake Christian in what ended up being an impromptu match thanks to The Young Bucks. Ospreay and Strickland were scheduled to have this match later in the show, but The Bucks flexed their muscle to move it up without their knowledge.

After they were victorious, Strickland challenged The Bucks to a match at All In . Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay vs. The Young Bucks at All In is what Strickland laid down, but Ospreay turned up the volume. Ospreay said that the AEW fans have had enough of The Bucks as EVP's of AEW and said that their tag team match at All In should be with the EVP titles on the line.
The Young Bucks flipped out after hearing the challenge and Strickland attacked security nearby as they did. Later in the show, The Bucks had Strickland kicked out of the building for putting his hands on an AEW official.

This week the feud between Mercedes Mone and Toni Storm reached a new boiling point. Mone attacked Storm right as Dynamite went on the air. Mone beat Storm up backstage and then out on top of the entrance ramp. Mina Shirakawa made the save, but Mone then told Storm to "let the games begin."
In the main event, Adam Page defeated The Beast Mortos. After the match, Page was attacked by The Young Bucks. The Bucks hit Page with an EVP Trigger and then Jon Moxley and The Death Riders walked out.
Moxley used a chain and choked Page in the middle of the ring as his Death Riders looked on with The Young Bucks. The Ops ran out to try and make the save, but The Bucks got in the way. From there, Will Ospreay hit the ring and was able to successfully save the day. Page was passed out in the ring and the medical team tended to him as the show went off the air.
